You can run Warn Hubs with the Electronic dial, you just cannot use "AUTO" Attesa mode until the Hubs are locked.

Xterra over QX4 any day. I just could not afford a 2nd Gen, and it was hard finding a rust-free 1st gen. Got impatient haha. I do like the Interior and overall build quality of the Japan made QX4 over the Mexico / US made 1st gen Xterra though.
You are correct. WARN front hubs on the later style will also require modification of the factory wheels to accommodate for the hubs.

There are plenty of Armada/QX56/80 on the road? They're were readily available for sale.

Finding a Canadian spec V8 Pathinder is hard.
They only sold them in Canada for 2008MY and it was only available as an option on top of an already top model LE trim. Combined with the recession in 2008, it had a low take rate.
Filter that down to rust free frame in black/dark grey and you'll find they are hard to locate.
There are far more in Alberta and Ontario than BC however they tend to be in rougher / rustier shape. They're family and toy haulers so you would expect them to have done hundreds of mountain ski trips, driving around in rougher winters than we get, etc.

This thread has made me want to go off roading again...
Twitchyzero - I love your set up! I should look into one of those hatch tents. Won't be going to Disneyland any time soon so it would be nice to do a staycation outside of the city and away from other people
